Operating as a supreme statement of contemporary fine art portrait photography, this unique creation actively rejects traditional static staging to establish an authoritative tactile dialogue inside a fluid, weightless aquatic laboratory. Materialized from video footage shot with two professional ballet dancers underwater, Cohete maps out an unspoken psychological dreamscape, suspending the two stylized nude silhouettes in an ethereal void of misty sea-green tones and deep shadows. Inspired by the textured layers of 16th-century classical frescos, the composition tracks a powerful visual rhythm as the bodies reach outward to connect, treating water as a visceral source of rebirth, flow, and current emotions.
From the series “The Alignment” which is materialized from video footage shot with two ballet dancers underwater; he is carrying on the theme of water as a source of rebirth and flow. Inspired by frescos from the 16th century, the artist tells a tale of the ‘current’ emotions.
This exquisite piece exemplifies the art of figurative photography, bringing intricate details and profound emotions to life.
